Pours a dark copper colour with ruby, and amber highlights. The head is frothy, light-beige, with decent stay and some thick foamy lacing. Aromas of roasted malt, coffee notes and some spicy hops. The taste shows that spicy Czech Pilsner flavour with the roasted barley base. The hops lingers some grassiness. A smooth, silky mouthfeel with decent dryness in the end. A nice crossover of spicy Pils and Schwarzbier, amber lager.

Mildly hazed, bright golden-yellow colour with a big frothy cap, good retention and some nice creamy-bubbly lacing. West Coast-style hop aromas with some grassiness, herbal, dark fruit notes, a farming touch and hints of mint. The taste reflects this freshness in the nose. Drying mouthfeel with a touch of tart, building bitterness, warming alcohol. An interesting DDH DIPA with a West Coast side that shows grassiness, dark fruits and minty freshness.

Oops, forgot I had a few of these in the beer cellar! Still tasting great with the herbal, fresh grassiness with the hints of citrus, all well-balanced. Lightly hazy with tiny particles, bright light golden-yellow with a big white frothy, long lasting head, leaving some thick foamy-creamy lacing patches all-over. Aromas of lemon and grapefruit zest. Quite a nice low-alcohol APA with good hops to step up the game.

Actually bought a 2-4 of these, as had a great special... and I had a few of these before to know I liked them. Clean, golden colour with not much carbonation, but a nice frothy white cap, good stay and loads of foamy lacing. The Czech Pale Ale malt give a nice cereal, grainy aroma. Almost rye, lightly spicy. The Mosaic hops give a touch of grassiness. The taste shows the cereal malts, but the hops give a soapy, spicy finish, which works well here. I really like this Focus series, and this one is another good one.

Can that pours a clean, very light yellow colour with a bubbly white cap, average stay and some foamy lacing traces. Mild spicy Pils nose with malts and Czech hops. Crisp mouthfeel with a little dryness in the finish. Again, the flavours show a little spiciness, grassiness and enough dryness to cut the malts. A very nice light Pilsner made to enjoy everyday.
